Routemaster bus RM2208

English: Routemaster bus RM2208 Rocky (reg. CUV 208C) was delivered to London Transport in April 1965. It saw use in London in red livery until February 1979, when it was repainted into a dark green livery as one of the George Shillibeer Omnibus 150th anniversary buses. It regained red livery in February 1980. It was withdrawn from London service in February 1987, and then went on to find further use in the Clydeside Scottish fleet (C83) who named it Rocky, painting it in their red & yellow livery. Clydeside sold it in September 1990 and by February 1991 it had passed via dealers to the Yorkshire based operator Black Prince of Morley [1]. In May 1993 it was bought for preservation as part of the Dewsbury Bus Museum collection in West Yorkshire, and by 1994 had been restored to its dark green 1979 Shillibeer livery, appearing at several rallies and events ever since. In 2019 RM2208 was repainted into London Transport red livery with white band and roundel.[2].
